I have recently had to reinstall my OS and format my HD. So now, I am trying to get all of my drivers and updates done, but I can't find where or how to update my CPU drivers. For one, I'm not quite sure the actual name of my CPU, and two, the amd site is a little confusing to navigate to find the drivers.

Hmm...so this update that Microsoft is trying to get me to download and install..called "Microsoft Corporation - Other Hardware - AMD K7 ProcessorDate last published: 5/15/2004 Advanced Micro Devices processor software update released on December 17 2002. " is nothing?

Also, now my CPU seems to be back at the default running speed of 1.266 GHz. Everytime I try and change it, when it reboots, nothing turns on. I hear the computer running and everything, but nothing beeps like normal, or shows up on the screen.

You should get them from the manufacturer of your hardware instead, which usually are the most up-to-date.
